Budget (including currency): $600 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 3d animation(low poly), modeling(low poly), game development (not much graphically intense), blender, unity, some games like valorant, cs go, etc Specifications: CPU: Core i3 10100f GPU: currently a 1030 or 1050ti (have not build yet) will upgrade to 1060 or 1660 in future. Monitor: (included in budget, havnt decided yet) So i was looking for a good budget build, but i am stuck on what PSU do i choose! There arnt really a lot of options cz i'm on a tight budget, so i looked for some budget PSUs, and came across a VS500 and imediately added to my cart, but recently i've been seeing some bad, really bad reviews of the VS line up of PSUs, just wanted to know if they are really that bad, and will it work good enogh for what specs i have provided. PS: I know a lot of you might be going ahead to suggest me to get a CX PSU from corsair instead, i know they are better, but NONE OF THEM ARE IN STOCK! So it would be really kind of you to not spice up the wounds by suggesting the CX psu. Thanx for any help in advance.

Budget (including currency): 2000eu Country: Greece Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Photoshop, Casual Games maybe and movie watching Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): So my current build is https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jxZwRT And I want to get the LG CX 48' monitor, I've found out to take maximum advantage of this display you need to a hdmi 2.1 compatible graphics card, which is the rtx 30 series. The rtx 3060ti right now can be found in my country around 900eu ... Should I just switch my gtx 1080ti with it and be done with it, or would it be beneficial for the system to operate for me to upgrade with a new mobo cpu ram upgrade? Are there any compatibility issues with my system and the newer 3060ti? I was thinking of the Ryzen 5 5600x. ps. 3060ti, or 3070? Thank you guys !

Helloo, Its been 2 months now since i bought the LG CX Oled and i want to learn to calibrate and doing it properly. I've done hours of research trying to find tutorials, mostly on YouTube, and i have only found one proper stream that is only giving a glance of monitor calibration. Done by Colour.Training and the stream was doing an overview of the course that they will offer on their site...which is almost 2 months late from when they said it would be up in the stream. Now this guy from Colour.Training in that stream gave a proper education. But all the rest of the tutorials are crap, literally crap and half-assed. Only one other I've found which does an almost full tutorial but he is doing it half-assed, like alright these stats are good enough so I'm not going to bother to explain what to do in order to improve these stats and the other big thing is that they don't go over which TV-settings to use. So I'm reading and just finding information all over the place about the probe and not really understanding all what is explained. Like i was sure that i was going for the X-rite i1 Display Pro. But later on i found information that the colour isn't proper set up in the beginning and you need to do profiling? This is one of the things I don't quite understand what i need to do. So my questions follows, 1. What is that i need to prepare with the X-rite probe before i can properly calibrate the CX? 2. Can i use a USB-stick or Nvidia Shield PRO to output 4k signal? 3. What are the recommended TV-settings to use for different types for example shooting games, immersive RPG racing games, SDR / HDR, Netflix, Other streaming platforms. 4. Can anyone link me to a proper guide/explanation? 5. Is there someone reading this post who has ISF-certificate whom I could ask questions to and learn from?

I just got an LG CX because I am planning to get a PS5 and a new gaming pc, however, I've seen so many posts about this tv having issues with vrr gamma. I wonder if should return the tv and wait for future models that don't have the same issue?

As the title asks, can a Type 4 to 8-pin (4+4) EPS12V modular cable be used on a Corsair CX 750M? On the power supply itself it says one of the two Type 4 modular connectors can be used for a 4+4 CPU connection. However, on Corsair's compatibility website (link: Corsair PSU Compatibility Chart) it seems to say that a Type 4 to 8-pin (4+4) EPS12V cable is NOT compatible (unless I am reading that chart wrong). And even then, I tried looking on Corsair's website for a Type 4 to 8-pin (4+4) EPS12V, only to discover there are no retailers for it (I set myself up to be notified when / if it ever returns to stock). Link: Type 4 to 8-pin Modular Cable In the end, I just want to know whether getting that cable would work or not, and whether or not it is safe to do so, since the Corsair compatibility chart makes me question my logic. May be a dumb question, but since it's a power supply I DO NOT want to screw this up. For clarity, I just got an ASUS Crosshair VI Hero X370 motherboard and a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU combined for $199.99. While I know utilizing the extra 4-pin CPU connector is for overclocking, I eventually want to try doing that with either a Ryzen 7 1700X or Ryzen 7 2700X, hence why I want to know if the modular EPS12V cable is plausible. Thanks for reading through my confusion! Sorry for being an ignoramus in this department

Using the 2:1 rule of thumb for sitting distance to screen size for TVs, this seems like it will be a great option for people in smaller living spaces who didn't want to overdo their main TV by getting something too large. Also, since it supports G-Sync and FreeSync it should make a great gaming TV for the living room. I'm just hoping that it doesn't come in too expensive when it eventually gets a price and release date. LG CX 2020 OLED TV Gets 120Hz BFI + 4K@120p Gaming with G-Sync/ VRR

Introduction Corsair's CX and CXM units have always been part of the "value" line, falling between the low-end oriented VS (Value Series) and the midrange TXM. VS was created to serve the office-level systems, while TXM was for the mid to high end PC's. For this reason, the CX and CXM were formerly called the "Builder" series. Under CX and CXM, there are a total of 9 different power supply platforms, some with smaller differences, some with larger. CX 2008 To start, CX 2008, the oldest PSU in the line. It only had the CX400 in the line, and is most easily identified by its fully black label side, where future units would contain a green, black, and white, or solely grey color scheme, The unit also used a white label on the back and top (opposite the fan) sides. It was 80+ “White” rated, group regulated, double forward-based, had a ball bearing fan, and was based off the old Seasonic S12II platform (not the one sold today). The CX 2008 is outdated and has been EoL for years now. CX 2011 Then you have CX 2011, which included the CX430, the CX500, and the CX600 in its lineup. This unit is identifiable by the green “CX” text on the label side, with a white line on the right side of the entire label. it was group regulated, double forward, based off the CWT DSAII, didn't meet any 80+ standards, and used a sleeve bearing fan. The CX 2011 is outdated, at best, acceptable for an office system. CX 2012 In 2012, the CX v2 lineup came to the market. I’ll do this one in two parts, since the PSUs used two different platforms. The first platform contains the CX430v2, CX500v2 and CX600v2 units. These were based off the same CWT DSAII platform that the CX 2011 used, but pushed up to 80+ “White” standards. The CX v2 still used a sleeve bearing fan, group regulation, and a double forward topology, but it can be visually identified by the green line on the rightmost part of its label, which is white on the v1 from 2011. The CX 2012 v2 is outdated, at best, acceptable for an office system, like the CX 2011. CX 2012 750w+ The second unit-platform combination under the CX 2012 line is the CX750. This one uses the CWT PUQ-B platform with double forward DC-DC, meeting 80+ Bronze specifications. While this unit did share a sleeve bearing fan with the other CX v2s, this unit is also very close to the modern CXM (2015,2017) units. The CX750 v2 is acceptable for a budget system. CX 2013 In 2013, Corsair released the last "old" CX, which was based off the CWT DSAIII platform. This set included the CX430, CX500 and CX600. The lower wattage units werepushed up to 80+ Bronze spec and could pull a bit more current compared to the older CX models (28A -> 32A, 34A -> 38A and 40A -> 46A). However, they were still double forward, group regulated, and had a sleeve bearing fan. The CX 2013 is outdated, at best appropriate for an office system. CX 2017 Finally, today we have the modern CX, best known as the "grey label" CX. This is the best CX of all, and includes two platforms for the CX450, CX550, CX650, CX750, for a total of eight possible separate units. . Excepting the CWT CX650, all units technically meet 80+ Silver requirements, but are advertised as 80+ Bronze for unknown reasons. They all are DC-DC, use half-bridge with LLC resonant compared to the older line’s double forward, and are rated at 40C, compared to the older 30C rating. One platform is made by CWT, while the other is made by Great Wall. You can see the difference between the variants for 550W, 650W, and 750W by looking at the last two numbers in the SKU. For CWT, the SKU is RPS005x, and for Great Wall, the SKU is RPS006x. The newest CX variant is good for budget to midrange systems CXM 2013 Now come the CXM or CX modular series. The 2013 CXMs were modular versions of the earlier noted CWT DSAIII based units with the CX430M, CX500M, and CX600M units. So these, too, were group regulated, double forward and used a sleeve bearing fan. The CXM (2013) is outdated, at best appropriate for an office system. CXM 2015 The CX750M and CX850M (2015) are very close to the modern CXM unit. These were just like the CX750, based off the CWT PUQ-B platform. They use DC-DC, double forward, meet 80+ Bronze requirements, and use a rifle bearing fan. They were visually identifiable by the green “CX” and “M” text on the label. The CX750M and CX850M (2015) are acceptable for a budget rig. CXM 2015/2017 The modern CXM is best known by its “gray label” nickname. There were technically two versions, the CXM (2015), and the CXM (2017). The 2015 version included the CX450M, CX550M, CX650M, CX750M, and CX850M. They're all based off the CWT PUQ-B platform, have DC-DC, use double forward, and use a rifle bearing fan. The grey label CXM (2015) is acceptable for a budget rig. Why there should be a modular CX For now, we'll mainly focus on the CX 2017 and the PUQ-B based units. As noted earlier, the 2012-based CX750 used the same platform as the modern CXM, not the platform the CX (2017) uses. With different topology, this doesn't only have a theoretical advantage in performance, the platform is more linear in efficiency, and more notably, it has a lower chance of creating coil whine, due to the way the double forward topology switches. Most significantly, the creation of additional noise under high load is what drives me to think that we should get a modular version of the CX (2017), called the CXM (2020).. This hypothetical unit can be double sourced, similar to what happened with the CX, but I wouldn't see a problem with either platforms (CWT or Great Wall) being used in the CX. Should PUQ-B be completely gone, then? No, I think it can be a great replacement for the VS series, or a similar platform from other manufacturers. I'd love to one day see a fully Dc-DC lineup from Corsair, which, for example, be quiet! has come close to (they still use group regulation on their 300W and 350W Pure Power 11).

I am planning on getting earbuds but I don't know which one of the 2 to pick. The price difference in my country is 15$ . Is it worth to get the 5.00 over the 2.00 ? Also will the "i" version work on my Xiaomi mi max 2?

Recently I am facing some issues with my pc. I have a UPS and whenever I am playing games and power goes off pc shuts down and it looks like the PSU tripped its circuit. My ups was a 1kva unit and was beefy enough for the system (300-350w) Now I thought that was a ups problem so I changed the ups to a better APC model, it worked fine for few days before exhibiting the same shutdown issue on power loss. Psu is a Corsair cx450 bought in 2018 q3, can this mean that my psu is going bad? As two ups shouldn't have same issue.

Hello, I am facing some issue with my UPS and PSU. Need some help here. Case 1: Whenever I do high load tasks like gaming and power cuts off my UPS goes into backup mode but my PC shuts down. Now when I try to power on the PC it doesn't respond which means PSU Protection Circuit was tripped. Case 2: While UPS is in backup mode if I game it shuts off backup power and same happens as in case 1. Case 3: If there is a minor power surge mouse led shuts off for a split second. My Full specs is in signature and my UPS is a 1Kva unit from a well known tier 2 brand. My PC max power draw is around 300w at max. Is this indication of faulty UPS or something else. I have called the UPS company to take a look at the UPS on friday.

Just a quick post about cx500w. I see so many people hating on this psu. From personal experience i would recommend this psu for any budget build and maybe some mid level builds. You definately could do better for a little more cash but if your in a rush to get one for a £50 budget and pc world is your only option then go for it. But!! If you're going to be overclocking do not increase your voltage at all..... I've been using this psu for 10 months powering : Asus formula v motherboard Fx 8350 Rx 460 16gb ram And worked fine till greed took over and tried oc'ing from a stable 4.4ghz to 4.8ghz. Was a stable oc, but turned on the pc in the morning before work, made coffee and came back to a dead pc...... I only upped the voltage to 1.39v from 1.32v and that was game over. Also overclocked the gpu too which didnt help anything. Up until this point it ran fine, no problems at all. Luckily this experience has forced me to learn everything about psu's to avoid this happening again and am waiting on a evga 650w gq gold rated psu for £71, only £21 more than the cx500w lol

These are all fake arent they? im not even sure how much the genuine costs. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xcx+400.TRS0&_nkw=cx+400&_sacat=0 Im poor but i recently broke my good headphones, and now i need to spend more :'(

Hi guys, I've found a great deal on the CX550M (£52) but I can't find any reviews for it. Apparrently it is there new 2015 grey lineup or something like that anyway, should I get it?

I wondered what is best, the CX550M or the Fractal Integra M 550W. I know that CX is known to be bad, but the 550M has a different color on it's logo. It's silver, not green. So what do you think?

psu Should I upgrade from my cx500m to something safer?
Jonathan Souter posted a topic in Power Supplies
I have a midrange gaming/productivity machine powered by a cx500m. I might play games for two or three hours consecutively a couple of times a week, and have autodesk software running for similar periods of time. Is there any danger of the psu crapping itself in a spectacular fashion, and if so, what would be a good replacement? Part list: intel i5-4690 asus z97-a cm hyper212 evo gtx970 strix 16gb of corsair vengeance pro samsung 850 evo ssd nzxt s340 corsair cx500m psu The build itself is a little over six months old, it's all pretty adequately cooled (idle temps of 20-30C) and not overclocked. -
What is the best budget psu? I don't mean some random grey unit from China. I mean well known brands and stuff. For example evga 500w psu from Amazon.com would be really nice but i live in Europe so there's lots of taxes and stuff. What are you thinking about Corsairs VS series? Is 550W vs series enough to power up system with fx-6300 and r9 380??? THX

Is the CX430M a good PSU for my rig? My main concern is if it's compatible with Haswell, or "Haswell-ready." I have seen conflicting answers online, with some people saying that it is definitely not compatible with the C6/C7 states, and others on this forum saying that it is. Others say that the CX430M is not good with GPUs like mine, and for gaming rigs in general. Is the CX430M compatible with Haswell's C6/C7 states? Is it good for my rig?

Hello, Today I was running GFXBench and during the times that the GPU was at full usage, I noticed a high pitched noise coming from the power supply. Should I go and get a new PSU before this one blows up my whole computer? Specs: Intel Core i5 4460 MSI Nvidia GTX 970 Cosair CX600 Would a EVGA G2 550W be best for its price or is there another one which is cheaper and just as good?
-
Found this listed on eBay. @quan289 Have I been out of the loop? Is this an updated CXM? A version outside of the US that I haven't seen? Just an updated skin? For those who don't get it, the cx750m is usually in white/green and has different packaging.

Alright,so ive been having some probs with ingame performance the past month,ive figured out most of it through hard trial and error,and with all the stuff I did,today I unplugged my CD-DVD-ROM since I havent been using it and I said why the heck not,after I did that,Im seeing a slight improve in performance,idk why but Im suspecting my PSU is starrting to fail at delivering power to all of the components succesfully.My PSU is a CX500M(yes,I know...a CX power supply in a mid range gaming system,dont throw tomatoes at me)and Ive just went through a rough summer,where I saw my HDD going up to 36 degrees,which could indicate the inside of the actual case is getting even hotter,i have 2 120mm,exhaust and intake,but Ive been informed that in temperatures above 30 degrees the PSU starts to crumble..Let me know if it can be tha,so I can order a new PSU,been thinking of either the CM series,or smth else,please let me know.

After browsing the forums for a couple of days, I've been noticing people diverting attention away from the Corsair CX PSU series. Is there something that I should know about mine? I've had a CX430 for 3 years or so now, and it's been absolutely fine, but obviously don't want to keep it much longer if it's going to start taking out components. My HW had been through a couple of *very* cheap unbranded 500W PSUs before this. Thanks.

Hey guys, I currently have a Corsair CX power supply and I am upgrading to a Xeon processor very soon. Would a CX power supply actually do what everyone is afraid of about these power supplies? A lot of you are probably wondering why I am even bothering asking this question. I am asking this question because I got this power supply a few months back (my family interprets it as: you just got it) and they weren't too happy when I said that I wanted to get another power supply. So will everything that everyone says that will happen with this power supply actually happen with a Xeon processor?

I was watching a video of Carey Holzman, and he has a new Corsair CX series PSU on him. I have no idea if theyve updated just the exterior or they made a new CX series PSU. Because on the website it's no different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B53M-WJCAVo
